Netflix sent along a box of goodies and a screener of the first episode of “Dinotrux” in order for me to write about the upcoming series. That’s my disclosure, and this isn’t a review, so much as a preview of the series, and I’m sure the “powers that be” are not going to be happy…
This is the season Jake becomes a father. That might be the most important thing to remember. There is more continuity this season, which really started in earnest during season 3, but now it has gotten to the point where missing a couple of episodes can leave the viewer wondering what happened in a particular…
Saturday we came home from vacation and began unpacking. Part of reason we came back was to get ready for myself and August to leave for Boy Scout camp the next morning, but the primary reason for arriving home at the time we did was to take Déla to her birthday surprise. When it was announced…
We are currently out of town on vacation. I’ll be posting something about both our summer vacations later on, but here are some of the hilghlights from this week. And yes, a couple off these were posted to Facebook, so they may be familiar to a couple of you. First off we have my birthday…
As I type this we are on vacation. I should be relaxing, but I had this idea I wanted to put down before I forgot. Newer parents might be afraid to take their young children on a vacation but it can be done. Our first order of business is where to stay. And that’s important…
Foghorn Leghorn (my favorite Looney Tunes character) is a military general in charge of some operation to obtain a flower that blooms once every 200 years.

The album set a sonic atmosphere that I loved and I began exploring other releases from the band. One could describe much of the band’s sound as…
Happy birthday to me! This post isn’t about me though. August and Déla got new bikes. Here they are trying them out. Sometime over the last week Ciárán’s tube and connector toy got broken out. Things were built. Some quite large. Tuesday August got to ride on a Navy ship as it maneuvered from Everett to…
This year it was Ciárán’s turn to attend Cub Scout Day Camp. With August already having crossed over into Boy Scouts he couldn’t participate – he will be participating in his own adventures. Also this year is the first time I helped out. After registering and checking in the activity was within our group to…
Another month and another Geek Fuel unveiling. This month was a bit of a mixed bag (yes, I know it is poor metaphor usage) but the things August liked he liked a lot. Starting off with a post for a comic Aliens vs. Vampirella which misses the mark in this household. The other “whiff” was…
